ACCORDING to Fortinet, Ivanti, and Intel, dozens of high‑severity vulnerabilities were patched this week, with the fixes covering multiple products and risk vectors. Fortinet says patches address 22 security defects across its products, including high‑severity flaws in FortiWeb, FortiSwitchAXFixed, FortiManager, and FortiClientLinux, the latter described as a Symlink following vulnerability that could let local attackers escalate privileges to root.
The Fortinet notes also warn that remote, unauthenticated attackers could bypass authentication rate limits or run unauthorized code or commands on some of the affected components.
Ivanti reports a high‑severity defect in Desktop and Server Management before version 2026.1.1 that could allow privilege escalation, while Intel’s advisory describes nine UEFI vulnerabilities on certain reference platforms, five of which are high‑severity and could lead to local code execution, privilege escalation, or information disclosure, with updates released for over 45 Intel processor models and none reported as exploited in the wild. None of the fixes were indicated as being exploited in the wild by the vendors.
